Mind the Odds

Expected Value Calculator

Expected value (EV) tells you what a bet is worth on average, over many repeats — not whether you'll win this one time.

Expected Value per $1 Wagered

-$0.052

That's roughly a 5.2% house edge — over many bets, this is how much of your money the house is expected to keep.

Why Negative EV Still Feels Good

Negative expected value doesn't mean every bet loses — it means the losses outweigh the wins over time. In the short run, near-misses and occasional wins trigger the same reward pathways as a genuine win, which is exactly why a mathematically bad bet can still feel exciting in the moment.
